In the summer of 2020, I interned at the SonicMEMS lab at the department of electrical and computer engineering at Cornell University. I worked with Dr. Benyamin Daviji and Professor Amit Lal on a research project to investigate the placement of silicon beads for ultrasonic vagus nerve excitation.  I performed a number of simulations in OnScale, a finite element modeling tool, and wrote Python scripts to analyze the results.  The work is described in the technical report below. It is also published at https://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/109393.
